[Farmall] Touch Control Hydraulic Oil

[Barney Van De Weert]

I was told a while back that all hydraulic oil is based on 10 Wt engine oil w/ additives for pressure, foaming and each manufactures recommendation. Back when I was in college, my professor did a comparison of oils. At that time IH Hy Tran came out on top for Hi Temp, Low Temp and other properties. I realize that in 30 years things change, but I think that HI Hy Tran would be better that eng oil simply due to it going into a hydraulic system vs. an engine.

Botton line is that any oil is better than non at all-

Hello,

I am going to replace my hydraulic oil in my Farmall Super A Touch 
Control Hydraulics.  I have heard that you can use a regular engine oil, 
or even HyTran.  What would you use to replace hydraulic oil in a touch 
control system?

Thanks,
Ben Wagner
